  1. Clothes Made Locally

    Share Share Post
    There are three tailors in the district. They never travel from house to house when required but they always make the clothes at their own homes.
    Cloth is not spun as woven now as it was long ago. I do not know any traditions connected with tailoring The implements the tailor use for working are needles, thread, an iron, a sowing machine and a scissors.
    Shirts are made in some houses but other people buys them.
